Sew much fun!

Maybe it's because my sewing class is on hold for two weeks due to spring break, but lately my fingers have been itching more than ever to sew. I'd been practicing on scraps for a while, but today I was determined to make something, and voila, I completed my first unsupervised sewing project! I made an "envelope" style pillow case. Here's my little work station all ready to go . . .



And the finished product (shown on the back side so you can see my "fancy" work -- the envelope -- hehe) . . .


look really close!

It's not super fancy and not perfect, but I'm so happy! Once you get the first project done, you want to do more. The hardest part was cutting the fabric because I used an old sheet and I don't have a large, hard surface to cut on. Anyway, I'm excited to learn other techniques and make more things!
